CURT RockerBall Starter Kit - 5 Drop [45144]

The CURT RockerBall™ Starter Kit with a 5-inch drop revolutionizes your towing experience. Featuring our unique ShockDrop™ technology, this cushion hitch offers improved comfort and better control while towing. The integrated cushion isolator turns a standard ball mount into a cushion hitch with anti-rattle capabilities. The RockerBall™ ball mount kit is a shock-absorbing accessory that significantly reduces jerking and jarring when towing. When your trailer goes over bumps and potholes, it usually creates vibrations, jolts, and noise. With a traditional metal - on - metal connection, these issues are transferred to your tow vehicle, making the ride noisy and uncomfortable. But the RockerBall™ absorbs the erratic movement and rattling at the coupling point, providing a smoother ride and more control over the vehicle and trailer. It also eases the stress on your vehicle, receiver hitch, brakes, and suspension system. Compared to other torsion and cushion hitches, the RockerBall™ is extremely low - maintenance. It has no airbags or bearings to service. Just apply grease to the integrated zerk fitting as needed for smooth operation. This kit comes with a standard ball mount having a 5 - inch drop and a 2 - inch shank, fitting most class 3, 4, and 5 receiver hitches. It also includes an anti - rattle shim kit for maximum vibration resistance. The CURT RockerBall™ hitch ball is made of forged steel for great strength. The base and ball mount have a durable powder - coat finish, and the ball has chrome plating for long - lasting weather resistance. Features: Dynamic trailer ball with ShockDrop technology.
